Nina & Pinta targets global corporate travel and expense sector

Nina & Pinta was established by Chris Pouney, Jo Lloyd and Monique Swart to provide consultancy services and bespoke accredited training courses to companies, teams and individuals operating in the business travel sector.

The company specialises in a number of areas, including procurement, sales effectiveness, operations and technology solutions.

Lloyd said: "We are subject matter experts in corporate travel and expense management. The objective is always to help customers adapt to change and build sustainable businesses.

"Our ability to deliver global market intelligence, combined with our collective expertise is unparalleled. We have all delivered projects on the ground and therefore have an intimate understanding of the challenges and opportunities that exist in the marketplace.

"We know from experience that taking time to understand clients and their requirements is crucial for a project or training programme to be successful."

Pouney is a well-respected industry thought leader who during a lengthy career has worked as a global travel buyer in addition to senior roles in the travel management community.

Lloyd has undertaken a number of project roles in the airline and travel management segments, as well as directorships at the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE) - where she also served as an at large board member - and the Institute of Travel and Meetings (ITM).

Swart was part of the team that launched ACTE in South Africa in 1999 before founding the African Business Travel Association in 2010. She is known for developing and delivering training programmes across the African continent.
